Calls to 101 cost 15p from a mobile device or landline phones, from anywhere in the country and regardless of duration. Calls are free from payphones. The public have always paid to contact the police by telephone for non-emergencies and the 15p cost of the call goes to the telephony providers to cover the cost of carrying the calls. The police and government receive no money from calls to 101.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 29/04/2019 15:04:14 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
